Museum London’s Poetry at the Forks projections are returning for all-night viewings this November. See poetry excerpts from Métis writer and professor Marilyn Dumont projected onto our river-facing screens (the big window behind the Museum).
Marilyn Dumont teaches for the faculties of Arts and Native Studies at the University of Alberta. Her four collections of poetry have won either provincial or national awards: A Really Good Brown Girl (1996); green girl dreams Mountains (2001); that tongued belonging (2007); The Pemmican Eaters (2015). She was awarded 2018 Lifetime Membership from the League of Canadian Poets for her contributions to poetry in Canada, and in 2019, awarded the University of Alberta Distinguished Alumni Award, and the Alberta Lieutenant Governor’s Distinguished Artist Award.
Experience writing like you’ve never felt it in this night-lighting, larger than life format. See Marilyn Dumont read her work live online Wednesday November 24, 7:00 PM. Register for free at Antler River Poetry (formerly Poetry London). Join a free pre-reading poetry workshop at 5:30 PM to discuss the author’s works in-depth.
This program is in partnership with Antler River Poetry (formerly Poetry London).
